Baseline Substance Use Interferes with Maintenance of HIV Medication Adherence Skills.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for adherence and depression (CBT-AD) in HIV improves both adherence and depression outcomes relative to enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU). However, in persons with injection drug use (PWIDU) histories, adherence gains seen during treatment have not been maintained postintervention. Therefore, we examined whether heroin or cocaine use at study entry moderated acquisition or maintenance of adherence gains after CBT-AD.

Behavioral health care integration in obstetrics and gynecology.

Depression, anxiety, and somatoform disorders are 2 to 3 times more prevalent in women than in men.

As a result of this trend, we have seen an increase in the number of patients seeking help for emotional and mental health concerns from their family doctors or, in the case of women, from their obstetrician-gynecologists.
